1.75 is what percent of 22 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 22 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 22, so we can write it down as 100%=22.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22
2) x%=1.75
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=22/1.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.75 is what percent of 22

100%/x%=22/1.75
(100/x)*x=(22/1.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.571428571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.571428571429) to get x
100/12.571428571429=x
7.9545454545455=x
x=7.9545454545455

now we have:
1.75 is 7.9545454545455% of 22
